Nicoya Peninsula
Stretching along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, the Nicoya Peninsula is a sun-drenched sanctuary where time slows down and life feels a little more vibrant. Famed as one of the world’s five Blue Zones—regions where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives—Nicoya blends natural beauty with a deep-rooted sense of well-being. This sprawling peninsula is a patchwork of surf towns, sleepy fishing villages, and pristine beaches. In places like Santa Teresa, Nosara, and Samara, you’ll find world-class waves, yoga retreats, and a laid-back vibe that draws surfers, digital nomads, and wellness seekers from around the globe. Whether you’re catching a sunset at Playa Hermosa or sipping fresh coconut water in a beachside hammock, the rhythm of life here is pure pura vida. Despite its popularity, the Nicoya Peninsula retains a rustic charm—many roads are still unpaved, and the pace is refreshingly unhurried. It’s a place where nature leads the way, and visitors are invited to follow.
